European Investment Fund Diverting Resources Towards Secured Assets

The VM Sustainable Equity Fund, managed by VM Vermögens-Management GmbH, offers investors a unique opportunity to invest in promising European small-caps and selected blue chips, while maintaining a focus on sustainability.

The fund excludes small and medium-sized companies from the UK and employs a strict negative screening process that excludes companies with controversial business fields and practices at the industry level, including fossil energy, nuclear energy, armaments, alcohol, and tobacco.

The fund's investment strategy prioritizes companies that are globally leading in their niche, have high profitability, and demonstrate consistent earnings growth. These companies are selected using a bottom-up approach, which involves identifying companies that are globally leading in their niche at the time of investment.

Strict environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria are applied in the investment strategy of the VM Sustainable Equity Fund. These criteria are developed by VM using the ISS ESG sustainability rating database. The current head of the ISS ESG sustainability rating database, who plays a role in applying sustainability criteria for the VM Sustainable Equity Fund, is not explicitly named in the available search results.

Michael Woischneck, the fund manager for sustainable investments at VM, and Bernhard Fuenger, CEO of Monega, explain that the fund's aim is to provide access to the most promising European small-caps and selected blue chips. Jürgen Lenders, Partner at VM Vermögens-Management GmbH, comments that by investing in quality titles from the European small and mid-cap segment, the fund operates in specific, untapped markets that offer opportunities for attractive value growth.

The VM Sustainable Equity Fund portfolio consists of 30 to 40 titles after the implementation of the investment strategy. Companies undergo a fundamental analysis to make a final investment decision in the fund. However, the fund does not provide specific details about the companies included in the portfolio, nor does it provide specific details about the selected blue chips included in the fund.

The VM Sustainable Equity Fund (ISIN: DE000A2P37L3) is an exciting investment opportunity for those who wish to invest in promising European stocks while prioritizing sustainability. With its comprehensive approach to sustainability and focus on quality investments, the VM Sustainable Equity Fund is a compelling choice for socially and environmentally conscious investors.
